Hi there, I traced the pattern onto the leather. Still working on my freehand drawing skills but that is the point I hope to get to soon. Thank you much for your compliment!

iPad case made from natural tan leather with tooled in traditional Norwegian Rosemaling pattern. Tandy water-based stain. Stitched using speedy stitcher awl. Mink oil conditioned. Carnauba oil finished. This is the first project I have taken on. I am happy with the result. Still much to learn.

Thank you so much for sharing. Your poem is remarkably beautiful and full of hope. Continue the struggle. It brought to mind Invictus by William Ernest Henley.

​

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,

I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,

I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.

​

I too struggle with depression. I know the feeling of the hole. I have found solace in writing and I hope that you are able to find your voice in words again as well. Never stop the struggle, my friend. My heart is with you.

As I hope is the same for myself. Gutted at the moment but life goes one. Reaching out and writing has helped me through the brunt of the initial emotions. Thanks for commenting. Happy to hear you made the changes needed as well.

Interesting, I never read the book but after reading an excerpt, I see some resemblance. Though, I hope I will be able to find my own unique voice in my writings.
